A gift returned ten thousandfold: I am the number one licker in all realms!

Just as the three were about to leave, the spaceship owner suddenly approached. He was a short man with a shifty face and a fawning smile, like a cunning fox: "Young master, please forgive my rudeness earlier."

Luo Xing glanced at him coldly, a hint of disgust in her eyes:

"You colluded with the Yin Sha Sect, and you expect me to forgive you?"

His face was somewhat pale, and he quickly explained:

"Young master, you misunderstand! I was forced into this situation. The Yin Sha Sect is a powerful force, and I am just a nobody. How could I dare to offend them? They threatened to kill my whole family if I didn't cooperate. I really had no choice." As he spoke, he squeezed out a few tears, putting on a pitiful appearance.

Luo Xing snorted coldly: "Since that's how it is, then you'd better watch yourself. If I find out you're colluding with the Yin Sha Sect again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The spaceship owner nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, young master, rest assured, I will definitely turn over a new leaf! From now on, I will definitely do business honestly and never dare to have anything to do with those bad people again."

Luo Xing ignored him and left the spaceship with Liu Yan and Feng Qing'er.

The three walked on the dock under the starry sky, the night breeze brushing their faces, bringing a touch of coolness.

The dock was brightly lit and bustling with people, with all sorts of strange races and creatures moving about.

Some have three eyes, some have wings on their backs, and some are covered in scales.

Their clothing varied, some extremely gorgeous, others simple and plain.

Feng Qing'er looked at Luo Xing, her eyes filled with admiration:

"Young master, who was that senior just now...?"

Luo Xing smiled slightly, a hint of pride in his smile:

"That is the Dragon Spirit Senior within me, and also my greatest trump card. By chance, I entered a mysterious ruin, where I obtained the Dragon Clan's inheritance. The Dragon Spirit Senior has been dormant within me until today, when he awakened to save me."

Liu Yan exclaimed, "Young Master is indeed extraordinary. Even Senior Long Ling values ​​you so highly. It seems that Young Master shoulders a great mission."

Luo Xing shook his head, his tone tinged with humility: "This was just a stroke of luck for me. Next, we need to improve our strength as soon as possible to meet greater challenges."

Feng Qing'er nodded slowly, her expression resolute, and said, "Indeed, Zhongzhou is home to a large number of powerful individuals, and we must be fully prepared. As far as I know, there is a mysterious academy in Zhongzhou called the Star Academy, which gathers many geniuses and also possesses abundant cultivation resources and secret techniques. Perhaps we could consider cultivating there."

A glint of hope flashed in Luo Xing's eyes: "Star Academy? Sounds good. However, the journey to Zhongzhou is long and fraught with danger, so we must proceed with caution."

Although they arrived in the Central Plains by spaceship, they were still some distance from the truly prosperous parts of the Central Plains, and they could only travel this distance on foot.

Liu Yan frowned slightly, a hint of worry in her eyes:

"Besides, we don't have many cultivation resources right now. We're almost out of pills and magic weapons. What should we do?"

Luo Xing pondered for a moment and said, "Let's replenish some cultivation resources in a nearby town first. I remember there's a place called Lingfeng Town not far away. It's a trading market. Perhaps we can find what we need there."

After the three of them reached an agreement, they headed towards Lingfeng Town.

They walked cautiously on the road, alert to the risks around them. The starry sky was full of countless hidden dangers and unknowns; one wrong step could lead to an irreversible situation.

After several days of travel, they finally arrived at Lingfeng Town. Lingfeng Town was shrouded in a faint spiritual breeze, which contained abundant spiritual energy and was of great assistance to cultivation.

The market in Lingfeng Town was bustling with activity, with a dazzling array of stalls displaying all kinds of goods.

There were pills for sale, emitting an alluring glow and a fragrant aroma; there were also magical artifacts for sale, each with a different shape, some gleaming with a cold light, others radiating a soft glow.

They also sell all kinds of rare materials, which come from different planets and have unique effects.

Luo Xing and his two companions wandered through the market, searching for what they needed.

Suddenly, Luo Xing paused, lost in thought.

Stop in front of a stall.

A stone on the stall caught Luo Xing's attention.

The stone's surface was covered with mysterious runes, which faintly emanated an unusual spiritual power.

Luo Xing's heart stirred; he sensed a subtle connection between the stone and the dragon power within him.

"Boss, how much is this stone?" Luo Xing asked.

The stall owner was a thin, bony old man. He squinted at Luo Xing for a moment, then said:

"I obtained this stone from an ancient ruin; it is extremely precious. If you truly desire it, then offer me a thousand spirit crystals."

Luo Xing frowned. Spirit crystals were the universal currency in this universe, and a thousand spirit crystals were no small sum.

He only had a few hundred spirit crystals on him, which was far from enough.

"Boss, can you give me a discount?" Luo Xing asked.

The old man shook his head firmly: "No, this is already the lowest price. This stone is worth far more than this."

Luo Xing was somewhat troubled; he really didn't want to miss out on this stone. Just as he hesitated, Liu Yan quietly tugged at his sleeve and whispered:

"Young master, I have some spirit crystals here. Let's pool our resources; it should be enough." As she spoke, she took out a delicate little bag from her bosom, which contained some spirit crystals.

Looking at Liu Yan, Luo Xing felt a surge of emotion.

"Liu Yan, I can't accept this..."

"Young master, we're all together, there's no need to be so formal."

The three continued strolling through the market, buying some more pills and magical artifacts. Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard a commotion.

"Stop! Don't let him get away!!!"

Luo Xing and the others turned their heads and saw a group of people chasing a boy.

The boy looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with delicate features, but his eyes revealed a stubbornness.

He was wearing tattered clothes and was running unsteadily, clearly exhausted.

Luo Xing's heart stirred. He saw the helplessness and despair in the boy's eyes, as if he were seeing his own past self. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and stood in front of the boy.

"Why are you chasing him?" Luo Xing asked coldly.

The group stopped. The leader was a burly man with a fierce face. He said menacingly, "Kid, mind your own business! This kid stole our stuff. We're going to catch him and teach him a lesson!"

The boy quickly shouted, "I didn't steal anything! They're framing me!"

Luo Xing looked at the boy, then at the burly man, and judged in his heart that the boy was telling the truth.

He scoffed, "Evidence?"

The burly man was taken aback by the question; he was speechless for a moment. After a while, he became enraged:

"Kid, don't be so stubborn! If you dare to interfere today, I'll take care of you too!"

A hint of coldness flashed in Luo Xing's eyes: "Then let's give it a try!" As he spoke, the power of the dragon race within him surged slightly, and an extremely powerful aura emanated from his body.

The burly man and his companions were startled by Luo Xing's imposing aura. They knew this young man was not to be trifled with. But they were unwilling to give up so easily.

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, an old man walked over.

Upon seeing the old man, the burly man quickly said, "Elder, this lad stole our things, and we were just about to arrest him and take him back."

The old man looked at the boy and asked:

"Child, you say you didn't steal anything, but what proof do you have?"

The boy shook his head, his eyes filled with grievance:

“I have no evidence, but I really didn’t steal it. They saw that I was all alone and wanted to bully me.”

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "How about this? I have a lie detector stone here. Just place your hand on it, and your thoughts will be revealed. Who among you would like to try it?"

The boy looked at Luo Xing and the old man with gratitude:

"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have been in a terrible situation today."

Luo Xing smiled slightly: "No need to be polite. I was just helping out when I saw injustice. By the way, what's your name?"

The boy said, "My name is Lin Feng. I am an orphan and have always lived in Lingfeng Town."

Looking at Lin Feng, Luo Xing felt a surge of sympathy: "Would you be willing to come with us? We are heading to Zhongzhou, where you might find better opportunities for development."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Feng's eyes: "Really? I'm willing! I've wanted to see the outside world for a long time."

And so, Lin Feng joined Luo Xing and the others' team.

They left Lingfeng Town and continued their journey towards Zhongzhou.

Luo Xing had a feeling... that this kid who suddenly joined the team was somewhat unusual...

The blood in my body seems to be flowing faster...

I couldn't help but feel a little curious

What's wrong with this child?

Could it be that this child...is drawn to the Great Dao?
